If Kerry were to actually say something that encourages a terrorist attack, I would have a real problem with that. I have no doubt that some of you guys actually believe that -- notwithstanding that we live in a democracy -- it is the duty of the rest of the country to keep quiet until the troops come home, but since most of the Republican leadership didn't see it that way when -- for example -- our troops were in harm's way in Albania and Serbia, I see things cynically.
If you really think, for example, that Kerry hurt our interests by criticizing Allawi as a puppet, then you also need to agree that Bush hurt our interests (first) by bringing Allawi to the United States to support his re-election campaign -- something that did nothing for Allawi in Iraq except make him look like a puppet -- and compounded the problem by having a campaign worker write Allawi's speeches for him. Once Bush left the barn door open, it was hardly wrong of Kerry to point it out.
Belief in the correctness of a position alone certainly doesn't make it right, as Dick Cheney did his best to illustrate for us on Tuesday.

My hope is that, after the election and no matter who wins, you very back towards the middle. Some of the stuff you've been posting recently is out there.
